Decorating
The sun is shining in my window at the moment! It's lighting up tiny new green leaves emerging from their buds. The time of new life and renewal is upon us.
Of course that means Easter is nearly here. And so I decorated.
An old pitcher from an antique shop holds bits of shrubs from our yard. I made the table topper years ago. The little ceramic chicks I picked up at The Barn Nursery on our anniversary adventure last week.
The mantel looks as it does every Easter, with family antiques and seasonal things I have accumulated over the years.
Peter Rabbit and friend keep watch over the eggs.
My old pottery ducks are in a row.
Chicks and bunnies in the dining room.
Eggs adorn the mosaic plaque we bought in Rome.
More pottery put to use.
We will be having Easter dinner at Jill's house, but I like to decorate, even if it's just for me. And we will be having birthday pie for Jake here this Sunday, after we all go out to dinner.
looks fun and springy...definitely easter themed...
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people decorate for Easter? Your place is nicely decorated.
ReplyDeleteI agree when you say you like to decorate, even if it's just for yourself. I do quite a bit of changing various decorations as the seasons pass and sometimes I think my family hardly notices. But I do it for my own pleasure.
ReplyDeleteLove all the Easter decor, especially the first arrangement. Until last year I had a mantel clock just like yours.
ReplyDeleteIt does lift the spirits to decorate for spring. Who can resist Easter? Love the pitcher full of fresh things from your yard.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly looks like spring and why not decorate to make yourself happy! I love the old pottery ducks.
ReplyDeleteNice Easter bunnies looking very content, Linda. I'm glad you decorate, I enjoy seeing it all, since I don't do it myself. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour decorating is just beautiful, as always! The first picture is my favorite. Those two little chicks look so real and remind me of the old fashioned chicks, and the flowers are so springy!!
ReplyDeleteNice decorations. We don't celebrate Easter in our home.
ReplyDeleteYour house looks so cheery. I love the touches you have given to all the areas of the house. I don't decorate for all the holidays, but I do enjoy decorating for Christmas and Easter. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have decorated quite nicely! :)
ReplyDeleteYour house looks ready for bright days and new spring life. Your collections are always a pleasure to see. Now can you do something about this cold weather?
ReplyDeleteWe don't decorate much for the seasonal holidays in Hawaii, so I LOVE seeing your gorgeous decorations.
